The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart

5.0

THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY AND THE PERILOUS JOURNEY, manages, miraculously, to be even better than its excellent predecessor (THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY). The sequel has the same strengths as the original -- four heroes, two boys and two girls, who are unusual and likable; compelling villains; adventures galore; a nice message or two; and writing with scarcely a false note. The sequel is also a tiny bit less over-the-top than the original. But if you're looking for a realistic read, neither book is for you.
